We all shop for groceries, sometimes two or three times a week –- or more. Now turn those shopping trip into easy cash for your school, and encourage friends to do the same! Just look for the Box Tops logo on hundreds of products like Cheerios®, Hamburger Helper® and Kleenex®, in almost every aisle of the store. All you need to do is clip and send them to your school’s Box Tops coordinator —- each one is worth 10¢ for your school.

  • Please make sure boxtops are not expired!
  • Please only use the collection forms that are sent home with your child or that you find on the Box Tops website. There are extra copies in Janet's office in the Box Tops collection bin.
  • Please do not use the Sandburg collection form.
  • Please only affix the number of Box Tops to each form that there are spaces for. Do not add extras...just send them loose if you don't have enough to fill up another form. It's also fine to send in a form that is not completely filled up, we can fill in the blanks. The Box Tops need to be submitted in bundles of 50. The forms we will use will have space for 10 or 25 Box Tops.

Corporate Matching

Many companies in our area match their employee’s contributions to non-profit organizations like DCS. These matching gifts are usually dollar-for-dollar, but some even double or triple the amount of your contribution. Corporate matching gifts are a great way to maximize and increase the impact of donations. An example of some of the companies that match are Boeing, Microsoft, Expedia, T-Mobile…
Microsoft, Boeing and T-Mobile also have programs that contribute to non-profits based on employee volunteer hours!
Check with your company's human resources department for their policies on matching. If you would like DCS to check for you please contact our treasurers at treasurer@dcscg.org and provide us with your company information.
